Hi Heather!
First off, a big super double-ears chEARs and congratulations to not only your recent graduate, but to you, too, Mom! The future really is a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, and I hope that both yours and your son's holds nothing but happiness, success and Mickey Bars.
Shopping is one of my favorite things to do at Walt Disney World Resort. There are so many neat shops with so many great gadgets, gizmos and souvinEARs! I've also felt the pain and regret in trying to find an item post-Disney visit, and luckily there are some pretty great resources out there.
First up is
ShopDisney.com. I tried sEARching for 'graduation', as well as various parts of the full quote "There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day" from the classic attraction "
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress." I also searched for both on the
Shop Disney Parks Mobile App, which has more park-specific merchandise than what can be found on ShopDisney. I'm afraid I didn't find the pin, but I'm not out of ideas just yet.
Reach out to the merchandise guest services team who can help track down specific items in instances just like this. Their email is Merchandise.Guest.Services@DisneyParks.com, and they can also be reached at (877) 560-6477. You might also have success on a resale website or by using a personal shopper, but do note that neither of these services are provided by Disney. And the last idea I have is to check for fan-created merchandise, like etsy, where you might find more than just pins.
I hope this helped, Heather, and I really do hope that you have a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
